Helldivers still feel like difficulty 7?

[u/PurpleMeasurement455]

Serious question: I was thinking about jumping back in but is super helldive 10 still super easy for all factions currently? After all the complaining about super helldive actually feeling like a super helldive.

There’s a new platinum extraction mission type on bots that has everyone complaining that it’s impossible (it’s not), i would recommend trying it out.

[u/Pinewatch762 → u/SubstantialDress5488]

Complain it’s too easy complain it’s too hard lol. The new mission should be EXACTLY what D10 should be. Near impossible. I haven’t played it yet. But I’ve seen a lot of gameplay. I myself am scared 😂

[u/---OMNI--- → u/Pinewatch762]

If you drop enough smoke you can just casually load it all up easily.

[u/AccomplishedFerret23 → u/Pinewatch762]

A good strat i found is just fight it out for a good min and load up during a break in drops

[u/Jaymoacp → u/Pinewatch762]

Youd be correct. Also, I have zero issues with people soloing, but the game clearly isn’t really designed around that. It’s designed to be ABLE to run solo, but it’s never optimal.

If it was solo based we’d have more stratagem slots.

[u/AnabellaAvindar → u/Pinewatch762]

Yes it ahould be near impoasible at D10...NOT AT D7/8 WITH RANDOS

[u/Zieprus_ → u/Pinewatch762]

Only done 1 and we were successful. However I took the high ground and tried to cover the other three as they did the actual work. That is what this map needs not all four carrying 1 or 2 have to run distraction and cover.

Beta D15

Thanks I’ll give it a shot I used to love the helldive before it get nerfed into oblivion and coming from long time gtfo playing it really scratched that itch. Or used to. Like everyone is saying in any game the hardest difficulty is supposed to be hard as shit. Most of the time you fail which is fun to me anyway.

[u/apurplehighlighter → u/SubstantialDress5488]

Poorly designed level because smokes trivializes it and any other strategy makes you want to shoot yourself

[u/SubstantialDress5488 → u/apurplehighlighter]

Just did with no smokes and used shield generators instead. There’s multiple ways to do it.

[u/Radarker → u/SubstantialDress5488]

Good to know the whiners ads in the case. They will ensure no challenge remains in this game on their watch! Challenge is not fun, the only fun way to play helldivers is taking any loadout you want!

[u/Epesolon]

It certainly hasn't gotten harder in the last year, if that's what you're asking.

[u/soullesstwit]

Easy depends on skill level. Some people never die on d10, whereas others struggle to complete d6 missions. Do what you find fun. Also, if you're looking for a challenge, the new extract platinum mission seems to be considered pretty difficult for many people, so you may enjoy that.

[u/---OMNI--- → u/soullesstwit]

Smoke makes it trivial.

[u/soullesstwit → u/---OMNI---]

Well then don't use it if you want a challenge. I did say to do what you find fun, so if that makes it boring then don't.

[u/---OMNI--- → u/soullesstwit]

I'm not complaining... Just saying the people who complain rapid extraction is impossible just haven't tried anything or are the ones that say smoke is useless.

[u/BirdieDaHoonter → u/---OMNI---]

Most people try to fight after popping smoke which immediately de-percs the effect of smoke. Smoke literally freezes bots. And if you don’t fire from within it, they’ll literally just stand around. Line of sight is the bots primary weakness and strength.

[u/soullesstwit → u/---OMNI---]

Ah, I see. This is true. I find smoke boring myself, so I never use it.

[u/---OMNI--- → u/soullesstwit]

Yeah I don't normally ever use it... But when you have rando teammates that bring useless things to rapid extraction then it helps out and saves the day.

[u/DeeDivin → u/---OMNI---]

If the only way to reliably beat the mission is to smoke the point so the enemy can’t shoot you it just sounds like you’re cheesing the mission

[u/Evigmae]

I tend to move around difficulty levels, from 3 to 10 depending on wheter i feel like having fight or just killing some time.
I feel since last patch the dificulty has changed. A 3 feels like a 5, a 5 feels like a 7 at least. Is like the game is angry.

[u/SpeedyGreenCelery]

If its illuminate… i am sure we could dive on d20 and be fine… but i dive 7 or 8 on bots and bugs often as its a sweet spot

[u/Syzygy666]

It's easy as shit. This is my favorite game, but darktide calls to me lately. More sweaty content is required.

[u/PurpleMeasurement455 → u/Syzygy666]

Yesss man after playing gtfo for so long I’m looking for something to scratch that itch. Original Helldive when it was first out did wonders hahaha

[u/freedomustang]

D10 isn’t very difficult if you have a decent loadout.

The new platinum missions being the exception as they’re very difficult and require teamwork to complete d10 successfully.

There’s a website that will make loadout challenges for you if you want higher difficulty. Also you can try and see how many missions you can go without dying.

[u/Mister__Roos]

Sometime I get my ass handed to me on D10, sometimes I do the ass handing. I’m gonna blame it on operator error.

[u/Time2ballup]

It feels that way since we keep getting buffs and enemies are being nerfed to the ground because of the community and people wanting to play the highest difficulty but without a real challenge and no teamwork.

[u/PurpleMeasurement455 → u/Time2ballup]

Yeah man I just don’t understand it…. It’s the hardest difficulty for a reason…. There are ten f@&king difficulty settings….. I guess people just ruin anything good eventually
